As Sandy implied, the number of domains doesn't really matter. It's fairly straightforward to set up appropriate automation to manage all domains at once. We hold the list of domains in a database (but use IMail in registry mode) and run scripts over the domains to modify all at once, so management is a breeze. Addition of domains is also templated so they get set up according to the settings we need. All of this is primarily done via scripting around the command line utilities to manage IMail, but also some minor reg read/write scripts for additional settings not available via said utilities.

Actually, there was only one mail domain listed on the server (it was called mxforward). It didn't use domain aliases in the way iMail does, but it rather referred to that text file to find out where to forward the message. True, technically the server supported N domains... but my point is, there was only one domain to set up and manage. >I don't know why you're so averse to adding a new domain >(there is a command-line utility for this). Yes, programatic administration is pretty good in iMail... but what I wanted to stay away from was having tens of thousands of mail domains to administer on the iMail server (I should have mentioned that). That's a lot of work even if things rarely change, and potentially extra hardware, for something we want to provide our customers for free. ;-) I don't think there's any way to do it in iMail, either.

No, you just had all the valid mail domains listed in a text file. That's not "one mail domain." It's just barebones configuration for multiple local domains. IMail does not support a text file option for storing local domain information. It is always stored in the Registry. I don't know why you're so averse to adding a new domain (there is a command-line utility for this). With ADDDOMAIN and ADDALIAS, you can make this a very swift process. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fnistools.com To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
